Abstract: A method of making a high activity catalyst composition suitable for use in the hydrodesulfurization of a middle distillate feed, such as diesel fuel, having a high concentration of sulfur, to thereby provide a low sulfur middle distillate product. The method comprises heat treating aluminum hydroxide under controlled temperature conditions thereby converting said aluminum hydroxide to gamma-alumina to give a converted aluminum hydroxide, and controlling the fraction of said converted aluminum hydroxide that is gamma-alumina by controlling said controlled temperature conditions to within a calcination temperature range of from 850 ~F (454 ~C) to 950 ~F(510 ~C) so that essentially all of said aluminum hydroxide is converted to a transition alumina but less than a material amount of the converted aluminum hydroxide is converted to a transition alumina other than gamma-alumina. A catalytic component is incorporated into said converted aluminum hydroxide to provide an intermediate, which is heat treated to provide said high activity catalyst composition.

Patent CA-2590124-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HATANAKA TAKAAKI
IPC: H01S5/50
Filed: 2007-05-28
Abstract: An optical module is configured with a combination of a single-mode oscillating light source and an optical filter. In this optical module, the single-mode oscillating light source outputs a single-mode, frequency-modulated signal. Further, the optical filter converts the frequency modulation to an amplitude modulation. And, the single-mode oscillating light source and the optical filter are packaged without active alignment on the same substrate. Accordingly, it is possible to realize an optical module in a simple and low-cost configuration by packaging the single-mode oscillating light source and the optical filter by passive alignment, without active alignment, on the same substrate, and by using a simple optical filter such as a waveguide ring resonator, which converts a frequency modulation to an amplitude modulation.

Patent CA-2593789-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LEGOUX JEAN-GABRIEL
IPC: A61L27/56
Filed: 2006-01-13
Abstract: Bone tissue at the interface of a bone implant is shielded from stresses found in normal bone because of the higher stiffness or rigidity in the implant versus in bone. The resulting "stress shielding" of the bone by the implant eventually results in resorption of bone at the bone-implant interface and ultimately necessitates replacement of the bone implant. To overcome these problems, an implantable biomimetic prosthetic bone having a porous surface, a fiber-reinforced composite structure, and a polymer-based core is disclosed.  The prosthetic bone is a good match for structure, stiffness, viscoelastic properties, specific weight and overall structure as real bone or host tissues adjacent to the prosthetic bone. The prosthetic bone may be formed as a total hip prosthesis.
